Les entreprises artistiques et culturelles, au-delà des finalités qui leur sont propres, sont aussi des organisations. A ce titre, elles relèvent du management et celui-ci peut leur apporter une efficacité accrue dans la poursuite de leurs objectifs spécifiques ; réciproquement elles peuvent aussi être sources d'innovations généralisables à d'autres secteurs. L'objet de ce livre, fondé sur les enseignements développés par les auteurs dans le cadre d'une option spécialisée de l'Ecole HEC (MAC, Management des Arts et de la Culture), est de faciliter la compréhension réciproque et de contribuer au rapprochement de l'art et du management en fournissant aux responsables d'entreprises artistiques et culturelles une vue d'ensemble du management et de ses principales composantes : politique générale, marketing, gestion des ressources humaines, droit et fiscalité, finance et contrôle de gestion. L'ouvrage s'adresse à l'ensemble des " managers culturels " que sont les responsables exerçant des fonctions de management dans les entreprises artistiques et culturelles. Le terme d'entreprise doit être pris ici dans le sens général d'unité organisationnelle autonome - ou semi-autonome - quel que soit le statut juridique, public ou privé. Ce livre s'adresse également aux futurs " managers culturels " que sont les étudiants dans des programmes spécialisés ou généralistes de management. Sa lecture peut enfin permettre à des artistes ou à des étudiants des disciplines artistiques d'avoir une meilleure compréhension du fonctionnement des organisations avec lesquelles ils interagissent.

n self-congratulatory tones of tolerance and open-mindedness, the Western gatekeepers of the contemporary art world-gallery owners and museum curators, patrons and promoters-take great pains to demonstrate their inclusive vision of world culture. They highlight the Latin American show mounted "a few years ago" or the African works featured in a recent exhibition of non-Western artists. Non-Western artists soon discover that this veneer of liberalism masks an array of unwritten, unspoken, and unseemly codes and quotas dictating the acquisition and exhibition of their works and the success of their careers. In past decades, cultural institutions and the critical establishment in the West resisted difference; today, they are obsessed with exoticism. Both attitudes reflect firmly entrenched prejudices that prescribe the rules of what Nigerian-born artist, curator, and scholar Olu Oguibe terms the "culture game."

In the celebrated, controversial essays gathered here, Oguibe exposes the disparities and inconsistencies of the reception and treatment afforded Western and non-Western artists; the obstacles that these contradictions create for non-Western and minority artists, especially those who live and practice in the Western metropolis; and the nature and peculiar concerns of contemporary non-Western art as it deals with the ramifications and residues of the colonial encounter as well as its own historical and cultural past. Ranging from the impact of the West's appetite for difference on global cultural relations and the existence of a digital Third World to the African redefinition of modernity, Oguibe's uncompromising and unapologetic criticism provides a uniquely global vision of contemporary art and culture.

Olu Oguibe is a visual artist, writer, scholar, and curator. He is associate professor of art and art history at the University of Connecticut.

The Expediency of Culture is a pioneering theorization of the changing role of culture in an increasingly global world. George Yúdice explores critically how groups ranging from indigenous activists to nation-states to nongovernmental organizations have all come to see culture as a valuable resource to be invested in, contested, and used for varied sociopolitical and economic ends. Through a dazzling series of illustrative studies, Yúdice challenges the Gramscian notion of cultural struggle for hegemony and develops instead an understanding of culture where cultural agency at every level is negotiated within globalized contexts dominated by the active management and administration of culture. He describes a world where "high" culture (such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain) is a mode of urban development, rituals and everyday aesthetic practices are mobilized to promote tourism and the heritage industries, and mass culture industries comprise significant portions of a number of countries gross national products.



Yúdice contends that a new international division of cultural labor has emerged, combining local difference with transnational administration and investment. This does not mean, he points out, that todays increasingly transnational cultureexemplified by the entertainment industries and the so-called global civil society of nongovernmental organizationsis necessarily homogenized. He demonstrates that national and regional differences are still functional, shaping the meaning of phenomena from pop songs to antiracist activism. Yúdice considers a range of sites where identity politics and cultural agency are negotiated in the face of powerful transnational forces. He analyzes appropriations of American funk music as well as a citizen action initiative in Rio de Janeiro to show how global notions such as cultural difference are deployed within specific social fields. He provides a political and cultural economy of a vast and increasingly influential art event inSite, a triennial festival extending from San Diego to Tijuana. He also reflects on Miami as one of a number of transnational "cultural corridors" and on the uses of culture in an unstable world where censorship and terrorist acts interrupt the usual channels of capitalist and artistic flows.


George Yúdice is Professor of American Studies and Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Literatures and Director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University. He is the coauthor of Cultural Policy and coeditor of On Edge: The Crisis of Contemporary Latin American Culture.

A starter guide for fundraisers, based on one of DSC's most established and popular courses. It shows how to identify the right funding sources for your cause, think creatively and practically about your fundraising, and be informed and successful in your approach. The book is in the following parts: are you a registered charity? (and what to do about it, if not); where the money is (and why companies give so much less than people suppose); why should people give you money anyway?; can you just ask people personally to give you donations for your cause? (the best and simplest method); what to do if you can't just ask people for money; Trusts 1 - is this easy money? Yes, but...; Trusts 2: Treat them like human beings, not like bank managers; companies - grants and sponsorship; The National Lottery - an exception to most fundraising generalisations; why you have no "core costs" overheads to fund, just "charitable activities". Hundreds of fundraisers have contributed directly or indirectly to the collective wisdom contained within this guide. The author brings together this wisdom, combines it with his own decades of fundraising experience at all levels, and enlivens it with his no-nonsense, entertaining style. This book should be of interest to newcomers to fundraising, or those with experience of only one aspect of the art. It is aimed mainly at the medium-sized or smaller charity or group, but may be equally valuable for those seeking to fund projects within the largest organizations.

As advertising genius Bernd Kreutz tells us, when Picasso first launched his marketing campaign to establish himself as a brand, "marketing" as we know it did not exist. Yet he recognized its potentials, and, by systematically exploiting his own talents, made a billionaire out of a poor painter--and made himself immortal. The Art of Branding traces the proto-typical career of Pablo Picasso as an exemplary illustration of the art of branding, the phenomena that has engaged the minds of corporate management more than any other. Marketing literature is full of theories and recommendations on such topics as brand potential, brand management, brand value, and brand mythology. Yet few publications address the crucial question of how brands are made. In marketing as in art, the art is not in talking about it but in making it. Picasso shows us how it can be done.

Arts Under Pressure analyzes the relevant forces behind decision-making in cultural matters worldwide, specifically in the field of the arts, under the influence of economic globalization. The book deals with all the arts, in all parts of the world, focusing on the cycle of creation, production, distribution, promotion, reception, and influence. It asks the key questions: who has the power to decide what reaches audiences in what quantities, with what contents, and surrounded by what kinds of ambiences? The author claims that mass culture does not exist; what exists are artistic creations that are produced, distributed and promoted on a mass scale.

Joost Smiers is Director of The Centre for Research, Utrecht School of the Arts, the Netherlands, and Visiting Professor in the Department of World Arts and Cultures, University of California (Los Angeles).

In the 1990s arts policy research was a fledgling enterprise. Many issues were uninvestigated, alternative research methods were underutilized, and researchers struggled amidst limited support systems. Arts policymakers treated research either with relative indifference or as a source of pre-determined political ammunition to reinforce claims for increased public support. But the culture wars of the early 1990s awoke policymakers and foundation officials to the need for a broader base of inquiry that anticipates trends and scenarios which shape systems of creation, dissemination, and support in the arts. Pankratz, Morris, and their contributors reflect this forward-looking spirit. They document how policy forums, foundation support, and research centers have built an arts policy community in the United States. They also show how renewed stress on the public purposes of the arts, a broadened definition of the arts sector, and technological, demographic, cultural, and social trends have presented the research community with new roles for informing policymakers. The book's provocative chapters, prepared by distinguished leaders in arts research and policy, bring fresh perspectives on how policy-sensitive knowledge can prepare artists, administrators, and policymakers to wisely meet the inevitable challenges of the arts in a new millenium. Important reading for arts administration educators and those involved with arts administration/public arts policy, arts reseachers and scholars in cultural policy, grantmakers in the arts, directors of public arts agencies at all levels, and directors of arts service organizations.

Artful Making offers the first proven, research-based framework for engineering ingenuity and innovation. This book is the result of a multi-year collaboration between Harvard Business School professor Robert Austin and leading theatre director and playwright Lee Devin. Together, they demonstrate striking structural similarities between theatre artistry and production and today's business projects--and show how collaborative artists have mastered the art of delivering innovation "on cue," on immovable deadlines and budgets. These methods are neither mysterious nor flaky: they are rigorous, precise, and--with this book's help--absolutely learnable and reproducible. They rely on cheap and rapid iteration rather than on intensive up-front planning, and with the help of today's enabling technologies, they can be applied in virtually any environment with knowledge-based outputs. Moreover, they provide an overarching framework for leveraging the full benefits of today's leading techniques for promoting flexibility and innovation, from agile development to real options.

In its brief history, Internet art has moved from being the concern of amateurs to a position of prominence in the art world. The rapidly evolving technology of the Internet drives the art along with it, bringing in its wake revivals of the avant-garde and modernism long since thought dead. Although material art often feels disengaged with the world when viewed in conventional galleries, Internet art is often humorous, socially aware, and politically active.
In an accessible and jargon-free manner, Internet Art explores the character of this new, dematerialized online art and the environment in which it exists. It also shows how artists have responded to the rapid and profound changes that have swept the Internet since the mid-1990s, above all its transformation into an arena for consumerism. In an analysis of the sometimes hostile relations between the art world and on-line art, the book suggests that this new art may have radical implications for the ways in which we conceive of art's authorship and ownership, and how we draw the borders between what is art and what is not.
